Eight dazzling pillars of light soared into the sky, piercing through the clouds, clearly visible within a hundred miles.

Eight beams of red, green, black and yellow light intertwined, painting a spectacular scene.

Everyone was staring closely at the eight pillars of light and soon the sound of exclamations rang through the air with excited anticipation, one after another.

Mu Chen lifted his gaze to the sky amid the commotion, his glance fixing onto the other red beam of light. He then glanced downwards and his gaze landed on a team wearing green robes.

Liu Qingyun stood leading the team. He stared straight at Mu Chen and his team with his hands clasped behind his back.

Mu Chen’s opponent this time was the team from the Azure Sky Spiritual Academy.

“Phew.”

Shen Cangsheng and the other team members heaved a sigh of relief, as they were glad not to have encountered Wen Qingxuan and Wu Ling in the first round. After all, they were friendly with each other and they did not want to see either team eliminated in the first round.

As for the team from the Azure Sky Spiritual Academy, they could be considered allies with Ji Xuan and hence, also their enemies. Now that they would encounter each other, they could teach them a good lesson.

Shen Cangsheng could still recall how Liu Qingyun helped Ji Xuan threaten Mu Chen in the elimination tournament earlier and if Mu Chen had not been proficient, things would have ended disastrously.

Mu Chen looked away from Liu Qingyun and glanced towards the allocation of opponents. He was momentarily stunned when he realized that Ji Xuan’s opponent would be Wen Busheng’s team from the Invincible Spiritual Academy.

Among the top eight teams, the Invincible Spiritual Academy was considered to be the weakest and generally speaking, Spiritual Academies of such a weak caliber would not have teams that could make it to the top eight. However, Wen Busheng accomplished this. No matter the results, he would be deemed as the pride and glory of the Invincible Spiritual Academy.

Mu Chen glanced towards Wen Busheng and found the man had a neutral expression, not lamenting his unlucky encounter with such a tough opponent as Ji Xuan.

At this moment, Mu Chen could not help him and could only silently wish him good luck in his heart.

Wen Qingxuan’s opponent was the team from the Nine Cauldrons Spiritual Academy led by Fang Yun, who had been previously defeated by Luo Li.

The last group of opponents, however, astonished Mu Chen. The two teams that would be facing each other were Wu Ling from the Martial Spiritual Academy and Xie Tianhe from the Blood Divine Academy.

Mu Chen did not have a favorable impression towards Xie Tianhe, instead having murderous intent towards him, because Xie was clearly coming for Luo Li.

Xie Tianhe had always been an unsettling character and he did not reveal his true strength in the elimination tournament. However, he easily entered the top eight, proving his immense power.

Similarly, Wu Ling was also no slouch and like Xie, also had not exposed his true capabilities in the elimination tournament, instead opting to hide them.

Now that these two teams which had chosen to conceal their true power would clash, no one could seem to predict what would happen.

“How unlucky we encountered Ji Xuan first.” Wen Busheng’s teammate, who stood behind him, lamented with a frown.

“It is already a feat that we made it into the top eight.” Wen Busheng smiled, staring straight at Ji Xuan. His eyes held no trace of fear in them but instead a tinge of desire for combat.

“We just have to try our best in the upcoming battle. We made it so far after going through so much, we have to make the Invincible Spiritual Academy proud, don’t we?”

Upon seeing Wen Busheng’s composed demeanor, his four team members gradually calmed down and grinned. Indeed, the fact that the Invincible Spiritual Academy could enter the top eight already surpassed everyone’s expectations. No matter if they won or lost, they had already accomplished a great feat. Either way, they just had to do their best.

“Well, let us see how strong the team from the Saint Spiritual Academy is then!”

…

“Well, here’s Luo Li’s defeated opponent.”

Wen Qingxuan glanced casually at Fang Yun, her red lips twisting into a scoff. She then looked towards the four pretty girls behind her and remarked, “Don’t let me down. If you fail, don’t blame me for being ruthless when we return to the Million Phoenix Spiritual Academy!”

She extended her palm and clenched it. The originally fierce expression had a playful effect on her beautiful face.

“Hehe, we understand.” Le’Er and Pin’Er smiled sweetly like flowers in bloom, charming the hearts of those around them.

However, Fang Yun’s team was dreading facing them and even Fang Yun had a downcast expression. He felt very pressured because facing an opponent the likes of Wen Qingxuan was highly daunting.

…

“Blood Divine Academy, is it…”
